Photocatalytic conversion of CO2 into fuels, long constrained by low efficiency and unclear mechanisms, is being advanced by researchers at Chiba University through the isolation and quantification of the interaction between photocatalytic and photothermal effects in CO2-to-methane conversion.

Electricity demand from data centers is projected to more than double between 2025 and 2030, according to the International Energy Agency. Microsoft’s commitment to become carbon negative by 2030 was initially framed as a benchmark for corporate climate leadership.

A new partnership between The Energy and Resources Institute and UNMAI Carbon Solutions aims to address persistent challenges in data integrity, verification standards, and financial transparency within global carbon markets through the development of coordinated digital infrastructure and policy frameworks.

Cement production accounts for roughly 7 percent of global carbon dioxide emissions, a figure that continues to position the sector among the most difficult to decarbonize due to its reliance on process emissions rather than energy use alone.

Carbon pricing under the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative has historically added modest but politically sensitive costs to electricity bills, yet tightening emissions caps and rising allowance prices are increasing the financial stakes as Virginia moves to rejoin the program in 2026.

A new collaboration between the University of Regina and the Thai Cement Manufacturers Association is moving carbon capture technology from laboratory development into field deployment, targeting one of the world’s most emissions-intensive industrial value chains.

Chiyoda Corporation, Nippon Yusen Kabushiki Kaisha, and Knutsen NYK Carbon Carriers have signed a memorandum of understanding to jointly explore carbon capture and storage deployment across global markets.

The United Kingdom’s carbon capture and storage ambitions continue to scale, with bids submitted for more than 2 million acres of seabed in the latest licensing round led by the North Sea Transition Authority.

Carbon allowance prices in North America highlight a growing divergence in climate policy design, with California credits assessed at $29.19 per allowance compared to $65.26 in Washington state, where tighter supply has driven higher costs.

Europe’s carbon management strategy is increasingly shifting toward large-scale storage infrastructure, with Greece positioning itself as an emerging hub as…
